Length: 4.47

lyrics

When you lay me in the ground,
Know that I've been waiting
To see my Mama smile again,
When you lay me in the ground,
Know that I've been longing
To fall into her arms again.
When I leave this world
I leave these words to you,
And if my time is short
And you're not yet a man,
I know someday you'll understand, yeah.

Don't wait for life to write your part,
Live this day like it's your last.

The days roll by and so the years
While we're busy making plans,
Friends are made and friends are gathered,
Hearts are won and love is lost -
So life goes.

Don't wait for life to write your part,
Live this day like it's your last.

When it's your time to take the stage,
You'll take my song
And shape the words in your own way,
When you walk this world
Hold this much as true,
And if your time is short
And you're not long a man,
I know each day
Is in good hands, yeah.

Don't wait for life to write your part,
Live this day like it's your last.

Sure as the sun the autumn comes,
And winter waits impatiently,
We watch the leaves fall, one by one,
Some sooner, some later -
They all fall.

Don't wait for life to write your part,
Live this day like it's your last.
